That's what I thought when I moved to Marathon in the Florida Keys.
WRONG!!  Froze my butt off that first winter. Most houses didn't have
heat, only air conditioning, but that winter proved that some kind of
heat can always be neccessary unless you live at sea level on the Equator.

Circumstances in peoples lives change. What if you decide to go on a
nice trip that takes you into the mountains, or the Southeast in winter
(read fogged windows and windshield - need heat to clear) or to Alaska
in summer, where I will guarantee the need for supplemental heat for
creature comfort.

Don't do this! It's a mistake.

My advice that you asked for! :-)
